THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—-JUNEAU, ALASKA CHIEFS OF 2 NATIONS | HAVE TALK President, Premier, with( Ranking Officials, To- | gether in Pofsdam | lCantlnued [rom Page One) in Potsdam two days ago, it was disclosed. There was no explana- tien, however, why the opening of the conference had been delayed yesterday. At Little Whlte House The Russians appeared at Mr.| Triman’s residence at 11:50 a.m.| with their official interpreter, V.| N. Paviov, and were greeted by the! President’s military and naval aides | and then by Mr. Truman &nd his Secretary of State in their offices cn'the gecond floor. Charlés E. Bohlen of the State) Department was the American in-! terpreter. Pavlov has ‘accompanied | Stalin to all the previois Big Three | meetings. The six were together| for an hour before going to lunch. Secret Talk What they talked about remain-| ed secret. Stalin met Byrhes at the Yalta| conference. Bohlen went to Mos-| cow after that meeting in the Cri-| mea as State Department trouble | shooter, assisting Ambassador W.! Averell Harriman in tripartite ef- forts to form a Polish government catisfactory to the United States, Russia and Great Britain. Truman directed Vice Adm. Emory S. Land, Chief of the U. S.! Maritime Commission, to proceed ! to Germany as soon as possible, in- dicating that post-war world ship-| ping and utilization of the Unlted; States’ greatest merchant fleet in‘ lustory would play a part in the discussions. At Conference Scene Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son and Gen. Henry H. Arnold, Chief of the U. S. Army Air Forces, are now on the conference scene. The parley agenda will cover a| world-wide range of subjects, in- cluding territorial disputes, occupa- tion. rehabilitation and stabiliza- tien, Adm. William D. Leahy, Tru- man’s personal Chief of Staff, and the joint Chiefs of Staff are on, hand for advice on purely military | problems such as continuation of the war against Japan. . DOUGEAS NEWS RETURNS TO SITKA Richard McCormick is returmng.l to his employment at Sitka after a | week visiting with his family in Douglas. He was called home to | attend the funeral of his brother, Walter McCormick. This was his first trip home since the last Christ- mas vacation. SAVIKKO TAKES EXAMINATION | preference. VETERAN g, MAJOR THOMAS M. NIAL WASHINGTON — The fact that a veteran's name gets on the eligible llsr. for appointment to a govern- ment job—or even to the top of the |list—doesn’t mean that he neces- sarily will get the job. But it comes close to that. His 5 or 10 peint preference helps bith to get a favorable place on the list. That list is made up by the Civil Service Commission. But the appointmant to a job is made by |the qualiffed appointing officer of thé government service which is go- ing to employ the new applicant. When a vacancy must be filled the appointing officer asks the Civil Service Commission to certify names to him from the appropriate eligi- 2 bility list. The names of the top three go to him, plus a sufficient number to take care of possible fail- ures to respond to appointment of- fers. The appointing officer’s right to consider three names, and not just the one name at the top, is a legal right, since the Attorney General back in 1871 held that the appoint- | ing power couldn’t constitutionally ke restricted to where he would really have not choice. But a vet- eran havipg a preference rating whose name gets to the top brac- kets of a list has a swell chance to land a job, kecause an appointing ‘authority who passes over his name and doesn’t select him has to go in-| that's Me- to a delaying procedure enough to make even Charlie |arthy’s head ache. Remember that an ex-service man| or woman doesn’t get preference dutcmatically. He has to claim and prove it. He should get hold of a Fcrm 14—that's the Civil Service Ccmmission’s preference sheet. If | he fills that out and attaches proof of his honorable separaticn from service, he'll be all set for a 5-point He must have served in time of war (or during a cam- paign or expedition which rated a | campaign badge) and must have {been honorably discharged.

Tangle Tonight fo De- cde Playoff Order Coast Guard =oftba]lcrs joined the €ignacs—on the outside looking in —last night when they were eased cut of the Shaunnessy play-offs, which will determine the local league title holder, by the Old Awkwards who took an 8-2 decision in the (first game of the preliminary play- off round. Off their win last night, the Awks this evening will go against the Headquatters club to decide third and four place rankings for the! Shaunnessy play. tion from active duty under honor- able conditions. There are a couple of other fea- tures about this Civil Service pre- ference stuff that I want to hit be- fore I sign off for today. ‘There's the suppositious case of Anne Brown. Anne married Joe Brown after he left the Marines. Joe was killed in an accident a few months later. Anne married again after six months, but she picked a wrong guy. He played around, so Anne had the marriage legally an-) ‘nulled. Then Anne decided she'd 80 to work—in an office of the Re-| construction Finance Corporation. | She made it easily, because she got | 10 point Civil Service preference which put her way up towards the top of an eligible list! How'd she do it? She was the un- married widow of an ex-service man. The widow of any veteran (whether or not he was disabled) can get a 10 point preference. This dcesn't apply if she has remarried, unless the second marriage has been dissolved, through the death of the secend husband or otherwise through no fault of her own. Also, if a vet- | eran who is entitled to a 10 point preference has been unable to qual- ify for any Civil Service job be- ce of the severity of his service- ccrnected disability, then his wife can cobtain the 10-point preference and try to qualify for a Civil Ser- vice job. Under the Veterans’ Preference | Act, the age, height- and weight of an ex-service applicant can be ig-v nered, and physical standards ordi- | narily required can be overlooked under certain conditions. The act also extends benefits in Civil Ser- vice reinstatement, in re-employ- ment, in retention (if there is to be ny reduction in the number of! jobs) in promotion, and in transfer.! The scope of the act is vast and it affects the whole Civil Service scheme. Thers is a gathering opposition and I'll give you a glimpse of it next time TURNAGAIN ARM CROSSING MAY BE CONSTRUCTED Delegate B;H;zfi Dedlares| Development Means Much for. Future WASHINGTON, July l'lAAC(m-! structign of the Turnagain Arm cressing, connecting the Kenai Pen- insula with the existing road system of Alaska, may start next year, says Delegate Bartlett (D-Alaska). 1 Bartlett described the develop- | ment to a reporter as of “tremen- dous importance in Alaska's fu- ture.” He said Federal Roads Commis- | sicner Thomas MacDonald . was| “highly pleased” with the results of | surveys made at Turnagain Arm this led from Tokyo to the northern end ~ lof Japan and back again, smashing |lation introduced in the House, Sen-!

A. M. Hueston, Sernia, Ont., taken pris- oner in August ;1942; while at Dieppe with the Essex Scottish regiment. The Baron; about whom Cana- dians heard from other prisoners, was in charge of a luxury prison camp near Berlin where favored or high fanking prisoners were Hheld. He told prisoners he was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford in 1929 and that he was a friend of the late Lord Tweedsmuir, former Governor-Gen- eral of Canada. He said he liked the English. Evidence that von Trott may have meant what he said came after the attempted adsassination of Hitler 1ast July. He was hanged and the explantion given by the German newspapers was that he had used his official journeys to Sweden to discuss war secrets with the enemy. | Coast Guard 0 0 00020 2 quantities of runners stranded.

Congress Now Asked For Single Conirol of Surplus War Goods WASHINGTON, July 17.—Presi- dent Trumdn today asked Congress to reverse itself and place control of surplus property disposal in a single administrator rather than a three-| man board. 4 The Chief Execlitive thus reopen- ed a 1944 fight over the disposition of billions of dollars worth of war goods which the government is now begining to sell in volume as the re- sult of the defeat of Germany. Mr. Truman noted that last year Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, who was then War Mobilization Dir- ector, had urged the appointment of 2 single administration rather than the three-man--contrel which Con- gress finally put into effect. PARKED POCATELLO, July 17.—Next time Vernon Van Duyn decides to “park” | on a downtown street he'll do more, than put a nickel in the meter—! he'll bring his car with him. Yesterday Van Duyn was fined $15 by local Judge Charles A. Brown | after arresting officers testified that| they found the defendant sitting on a surb shooing motorists away from his parking place. Van Duyn ay- erred it shouldn't miake any dif- ference what you park by a meter— as long as a nickel goes inside. The charge against drunkenness. Old | Mil-! him vdial would be cheapest of all routes ex- plored. It is estimated that the fill and bridge, with required feed- | er roads, would cost about $6,000,000. ‘ “Cempletion of this job would give | eward its badly needed highway | connection with Anchorage and ulti- mately would connect the entire Kenai Peninsula with Anchorage,” Bartlett said. “Once the arc is crossed and the {feeder roads built, we can look for- (ward to rapid development of the { whole peninsula.” |"HOSPITALITY JANE" | RETURNS 10 SEINE PARIS — The only Seine River | stéhmer to survive the battle of | France was laid up all through the German occupation because a vital | part was mi.sunl.

UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS GOING TO BE ENLARGED WASHINGTON, July 17.—8ix Democratic Senators teamed today to carry out President Truman’s re- quest for broadened unemployment benefits during reconversion, in- |cluding higher payments to veter-| ans.

While the northwest Oregon fum licked out over 27,000 acres, fire' crews and bulldozers struggled to| keep the blaze from reaching green| second-growth timber, at some points only a half-mile away.
